Joel, Brinkley in No-Nukes Protest
WATERFORD, Conn. (AP) - Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley were back
together again over the weekend, not as husband and wife, but for an
anti-nuclear protest carrying warnings about radiation from the deck
of boat.
The divorced singer and supermodel reunited Saturday for a protest
cruise on Long Island Sound against against the Millstone nuclear
power plants. At the same time, anti-nuclear advocates stood on shore
calling for a shutdown of the reactors.
Both celebrities are members of STAR - Standing for Truth About
Radiation.
The protesters want the Millstone plants shut down permanently.
Earlier this year, two of the reactors were allowed back into
operation after three years of safety concerns.
